Query on WIP which is to be capitalised

A company has some amount under WIP. These are expenses incurred which will be capitlised later under the asset block -  furniture and fixture. These are basically expenses incurred on company showroom refurbishing

Questions

1) Under Indian AS where this amount is to be disclosed in Balance sheet ? Kindly quote AS number.

2)Under IFRS where this amount is to be disclosed in Balance sheet?Kindly quote IFRS number.

3)Please let me know is it wrong to classify this under the head WIP under Current Assets.If yes, why?

 

Please answer all questions separately in the order question is asked.

Many thanks.

Anil it cant be WIP..Because its capital expenditure

The work is under progress.It is not complete yet.Once the work is complete it will definetly be taken as capital expenditure. The question  is how should one treat the amount being spent when the work is not complet yet.
 

KINDLY quote references to Institue guidelines / AS / IFRS.

Thanks for your response.

Schedule -VI of the Companies Act requires the disclosure of Capital Work in Progress as follows :
 (a) Fixed assets:
(i) Gross block
(ii) Less: Depreciation
(iii) Net block
(iv) Capital work-in-progress
Note : CWIP Includes Advances given for Capital Expenditure.
 
AS 10 Para 39 9(ii) requires separate disclosure for expenditure incurred on account of fixed assets in the course of construction or acquisition.
Under IFRS CWIP should be added along with the PPE as a single line item as “ Property Plant & Equipment including Capital Work in progress”.

IAS 16 Under IFRS CWIP should be added along with the PPE as a single line item as “ Property Plant & Equipment including Capital Work in progress”.
However As per IAS 1 Presentation of Financials Statements - Structure & Contents of Balance Sheet PPE is there in the list of minimum line items for Balance Sheet. IAS 1 doesnt prohibits adding a new line item for better presentaion . Therefore you may also show " Capital Work in progress a separate line item below the Property, Plant & Equipment.

Thank you very much.

Anil.
